The Chinese blend a lot of imported bulk wine with their native-grape wines and, as truth in labeling laws are yet to be written, a varietally labeled bottle might contain only a small percentage of that grape, with domestic varietals providing the balance.
Chinese homes are small, he says, and because of that the Chinese tend to socialize in restaurants, where a bottle of foreign wine on the table is a mark of prestige.
In general, Wang says, "High class foreign wines can usually be found in hotels and restaurants catering to Westerners." She says the average price of French wine--("I think they are the most expensive wines in China")--is about 180 RMB, compared to 128 RMB for the top domestic wine.

I can not over stress the importance of the fact that in Chinese the word for alcohol "jiu" is used to mean all types of beverages, from beer 'pijiu" to liquor of all sorts (just called "jiu") to grape wine, called "putao jiu", literally, "grape alcohol".
China has a 6,000 year history of grape growing, and a 2,000 year history of wine making, and yet until this century the wine that was made in China was not of a style that would be recognized in the West.
With a 750 ml bottle of beer costing around US$.60 it is difficult for the Chinese consumer to spend even the $2- $4 that a bottle of Chinese wine fetches.

 Wine-tippling in China 9,000 years ago / Residue discovered in potsherds from the late Stone Age
The earlier traces of Chinese wine are by far the oldest signs of wine ever found.
The traces that remain are only the dried residues of the heady wine, but in the tombs of ancient Chinese nobles from the Shang Dynasty 6,000 years later, the scientists have even found more sophisticated wines remarkably preserved as liquids tightly sealed in elaborate bronze jars.
The wines contained flowers such as chrysanthemums, pine resins that made some of them resemble the modern Greek retsina, traces of camphor, olives and tannins, and even wormwood -- which, much later, was the destructive ingredient of absinthe, so notorious in the Parisian Belle Epoque of Toulouse-Lautrec.

The problems are: people out of China have little knowledge about Chinese wines; the Chinese wine is never mentioned in any published wine books; it seems the wines all over the world are pouring into the Asian markets; French wines and other wines from the western countries have already well accepted by the markets.
If there is no wine association in China which can develop a PR campaign for the industry the best way is to have critics apprasise your wines, people write about them, or, do it the expensive way and advertise in your markets.
We are planning to introduce the Chinese wines into Southeastern Asian markets since we have found there are good table wines with good price in China.

Rice wine is the form of alcohol most commonly drunk in China.
